Handpicked on Etsy Yesterday I featured handcrafted chairs, furniture in which to sit. Today's topic is the chair used by talented Etsy artists as subject matter in the painterly, ceramic and photographic arts. One of these selections depicts the artist's playful flight of fancy, and the others invite the viewer to imagine the story.
The chair is a familiar object that generally provides comfort and style, or in some cases evokes anxiety (the "hot seat") or power (the executive chair or throne.) When we see empty chairs depicted in art, we tend to envision people using the chair. A lone chair may personify a specific individual (the ubiquitous, well-used "man chair") or evoke pleasant images of people in repose or contemplation, and in other cases pathos such as loneliness. Groupings of chairs suggest conversations or people-watching. To see up close images of these listings, click on the picture to go directly the Etsy store. Prices range from $15.00 to $550.00.
